Lena nodded. “This isn’t something difficult.”
“It isn’t.”
“You have to understand that Saria Zomer is Xuri Zomer’s elder sister, and her husband isn’t someone anonymous either. Her husband is Hendrickson Stoermer. Before the rise of Emperor Rowan, he was the number one man in the great world of America and the founder of the League of Cultivators. With such a relationship, she could borrow a few swords if she wanted to.”
Alex nodded upon hearing those words. It turned out to be like that. He smiled. “Indeed, it’s quite impressive that she could gather the top three hundred divine swords in the world.”
Lena said, “But, you probably don’t know there is a secret in the sword grave.”
“Huh? There is even a secret?”
“Do you think Saria Zomer collected the top three hundred divine swords in the world because it was amusing?”
“Could it be that she had other goals?”
“Of course! She wanted to raise the swords!”
“A sword is the king of soldiers. How much blade aura would be condensed if so many divine swords were gathered and buried inside the sword grave? It’d be simply unimaginable. And, the blade aura could help her raise a peerlessly divine sword!”
Alex asked, “What kind of sword is that?”
Lena said, “I heard my mother mention it before. Rumor has it that Saria Zomer’s plan to raise the sword was actually a success! The sword that she raised belonged to her brother-in-law. It’s called… The Godslayer!”
“Then, isn’t her brother-in-law… Emperor Rowan?”
“That’s right! In antiquity, all experts from the Stoermer Sect headed to the Abyss to find a lease of life. If Emperor Rowan took the Godslayer back then, he would’ve come back by now. Unfortunately, the sword-raising process was one step away from completion back then, so he didn’t take it.”
Alex asked, “Do you mean the Godslayer is still inside this sword grave?”
“That’s right!”
Alex nodded. “Then, we definitely can’t let these people escape.”
He smiled. The spell formation of Pompeii was currently under his control, so it should not be hard if he wanted to get his hands on it.
It was then that he suddenly noticed someone shouting, “Nobody is allowed to snatch them! The Lunula Sect unlocked the sword grave, so half of the magical treasures inside will belong to the Lunula Sect! Hand over everything you’ve acquired and put them here! The Lunula Sect will distribute them! Otherwise, die!”
Alex immediately remembered it when he looked carefully at the speaking man. That was the guy whose phantom he had killed back in the temple. Regardless of his tone of speech or demeanor, he was still so cocky!
There were not any decent people in the Lunula Sect. However, Alex noticed that it was not that easy for those collecting divine swords in the sword grave, and casualties still existed. The divine swords contained spirits, not some wallets found on a street.
After thinking for a while, Alex said, “Let them collect the swords first. We’ll confiscate the divine swords later.”
